The majority of todays office-based jobs require thoughtful, logical decisions, as well as the ability to rationalize them.

Argument from fallacy

Argument from fallacy

Automatically accepting that the conclusion is wrong because one of the arguments is wrong means that we can be subject to manipulation.

Fallacy of the undistributed middle

Fallacy of the undistributed middle

The fallacy of the undistributed middle occurs when the statement that links the two premises is never distributed. This can introduce errors at the early stages of the decision-making process.

Non-independent events

Non-independent events

Recognizing when two events are independent is often important when making a decision.

Fallacy of composition

Fallacy of composition

The error of assuming that what is true of a member of a group is true for the group as a whole.

Attribute substitution

Attribute substitution

When we try to answer a difficult question, we often actually answer a related but different question, without realizing that a substitution has taken place and this can lead to wrong decisions.

Double counting

Double counting

Double counting is a fallacy in which we count events two or more times, resulting in an erroneous number of event, which is higher than the true result. Such mistakes are often very costly.

Gambler's fallacy

Gambler's fallacy

Also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy, the gambler's fallacy is the mistaken belief that, if something happens more frequently than normal during a given period, it will happen less frequently in the future, and can lead to wrong decisions.

Correlation and causation

Correlation and causation

Establishing a cause-and-effect relationship where one doesn't exist is a common cause for making wrong decisions.

Affirming a disjunct

Affirming a disjunct

The fallacy lies in concluding that one disjunct must be false because the other disjunct is true. It's important to recognize that both disjuncts might be true when making decisions.

Deductive logic

Deductive logic

Also known as deductive reasoning, this is the process of reasoning from one or more statements (premises) to reach a logically certain conclusion. It is a necessary part of any argument.

Fallacy of division

Fallacy of division

A fallacy of division occurs when one mistakenly concludes that something true for the whole must also be true of all or some of its parts.

Affirming the consequent

Affirming the consequent

Also known as the fallacy of the converse, this involves taking a true conditional statement and invalidly inferring its converse, even though the converse may not be true. Such errors are very common and can result in a failure to consider other causes.

Fallacy of exclusive premises

Fallacy of exclusive premises

A valid syllogism can't have two negative premises. For exclusive premises, both are negative and the syllogism is invalid. Not noticing this can lead to unwanted results.

Circular reasoning

Circular reasoning

A logical fallacy in which the reasoner begins with what they are trying to conclude. Failing to notice such a fallacy can lead to making important decision based on arguments that are not necessarily true.

Set theory

Set theory

Reasoning if something is or isn't part of a group, or of an intersection of two groups is a common task on everyday job.

What Others Say

Testdome is simple, provides a reasonable (though not extensive) battery of tests to choose from, and doesn't take the candidate an inordinate amount of time. It also simulates working pressure with the time limits.

Very Prompt and helpful support when needed, we were looking to work with a third party to write and set up new tests, testdome was able to quickly set up and support a method to do this, allowing us to start testing candidates straight away.

It provides us an opportunity to set our own timing policy, to choose from variety of questions from different areas and with difficulty gradation. Also it is great that TestDome provides free of charge tests for candidates to prepare and check how online IDE works. And support is always ready to help:)

Since we’re all biased and we use incorrect proxies, why not just outsource hiring to experts or recruitment agencies? After all, they’ve been screening people for many years, so they must know how to do it right?

Not really. I was surprised to discover that many experts disagree with each other. Everybody praises their pet method and criticises the others. Many of these methods look legitimate, but are based on...
